Project Based Learning

Project-Based Learning

Project Based Learning is a teaching strategy in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects. Projects serve as an infrastructure that allows students to create, experiment, and work with others in pursuit of deeper understanding.

Design Thinking

Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a methodology for creative problem solving and innovation. It is an iterative process that teams use to understand problems, challenge assumptions, and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. 

Maker Education

Maker Education

Maker-centered learning develops students’ awareness through open-ended, multi-disciplinary experiences. “Making” allows for the time and space needed to develop diverse skills, knowledge, and ways of thinking. In maker-centered learning environments, students imagine, design, and create projects that align academic content with hands-on applications.
